NEST Energy Systems and International Battery to Demonstrate VIPUR at the Experimental Forward Operating Base 2011 Event in California Desert

TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--International Battery , a U.S. manufacturer and developer of large-format Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, today announced that it will join NEST Energy Systems in the HP Pavilion DV6000 Battery demonstration of NESTs VIPUR system during the Experimental Forward Operating Base 2011 event held at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, Calif., August 15 C 19, 2011. The Experimental Forward Operating Base (ExFOB) is the Marine Corps hp pf723a battery innovative process to identify and evaluate energy efficient technologies.
During ExFOB, NEST Energy Systems and International Battery will demonstrate NESTs VIPUR system in real-world, high-heat desert conditions. VIPUR provides up to 75 percent fuel consumption hp pb995a battery reduction for HMMWV (military Humvees), Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) trucks and other tactical vehicles that use excessive idling as a means of generating electrical energy. MTVRs are frequently used to provide peak (2.5 kilowatts) power for hp ze2000 battery ground-based systems, such as radios, laptops, blue-force trackers, etc. For the demonstration, the VIPUR unit will be paired with a 430-watt portable solar panel to charge the unit.
To improve fuel and energy efficiencies, save costs and logistics, NESTs VIPUR C which can be installed in less than 30 minutes C operates automatically (no operator intervention needed) and independently of a vehicles hp 367759-001 battery system, utilizing an auxiliary alternator and up to four 1.5kWh or 4.1kWh batteries from hp 367760-001 battery International Battery featuring UN certified large-format Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LFP) rechargeable cells. VIPUR components are housed in a reinforced, heavy-duty aluminum container that is secured to a frame and mounted on the hp 383493-001 battery tactical vehicle. All components, including the VIPURs wiring harness and integrated batteries are weather, heat and shock resistant and are designed for vehicular use. International Batterys LFP batteries have undergone extensive testing in harsh environments including live round ammunition tests at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NWSC) Crane and Carderock divisions, and currently are undergoing continued TR level 5 and 6 testing at KEMA.
Tom Lederle, NEST Energys Vice President of hp 396601-001 battery Product Development and VIPURs primary architect, is enthusiastic about the USMCs commitment to the ExFOB program. Over the years a lot of lip service has been given to incorporating sustainable, hybridized systems as a means of hp 398065-001 battery reducing fuel consumption in theater, but the Marine hp 398832-001 battery Corps has actually done much of the heavy lifting. NEST Energy and its partners are exceptionally proud to be a part of a team and a program thats finding practical solutions C like VIPUR C that will help save lives and create green jobs in these very troubled times.
Were pleased to join NEST Energy Services to demonstrate this innovative solution in providing a more efficient method of compaq v2000 battery generating electrical power in the field, said International Batterys Vice President of Government Relations, Rex Luzader. By reducing fuel consumption, threats posed by vulnerable supply lines are reduced and sustainability measures are greatly increased in the field. International Battery modules feature quick charge times, small footprint and light weight, making our LFP systems the best solution for harsh environments.
Pennsylvania-based International Battery is a leading manufacturer of large-format prismatic cells and energy storage systems that incorporates the companys Battery Management System (BMS) that performs monitoring and balancing at the individual cell level. International Batterys energy storage systems offer superior high temperature performance, over 90 percent efficiency and more than 4000 cycles at 100 percent depth of discharge. This less complex system with an efficient electrical bus and low thermal management requirement allows for compaq m2000 battery compact packaging and good system energy density. International Battery is involved with various fuel saving programs including the U.S. Marines Ground Renewable Expeditionary Energy Network System (GREENS) as well as the Hybrid Advanced Microgrid Power System (HAMPS) which several branches of the military are adopting.
Created in 2009, ExFOB brings together stakeholders and industry vendors from across the Marine Corps' requirements, compaq presario c500 battery acquisitions and technology development communities in a dynamic process to quickly deploy technologies to reduce the need for "liquid logistics" today and to establish requirements for tomorrow.
